Blakely Adams , LSCSW

Blakely Adams brings a compassionate, strengths-focused approach to supporting people through life’s challenges. She understands the pressures of social and cultural expectations and how those forces can make it hard to live authentically. Having navigated her own queer identity, she is committed to supporting others through coming out and identity exploration while helping them recognize the values and strengths that define who they are.

With 12 years of social work experience, Blakely blends a strengths-based outlook with solution-focused methods to help clients move through difficult times. As an LSCSW - a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker - she applies clinical training and practical insight to collaborative work with clients. Her focus is on identifying existing resources and building on personal assets so people can navigate transitions, manage stress, and honor what makes them unique.

Blakely emphasizes teamwork in the therapeutic relationship, working to highlight and develop clients’ strengths so they can better handle immediate concerns and appreciate their own resilience. She welcomes the chance to begin that process with individuals seeking support and growth.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Blakely Adams uses Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients clarify goals, identify what is already working, and build practical steps toward change. This approach is often helpful for people who want targeted strategies for specific problems and faster momentum in therapy. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy - DBT - which teaches skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress in healthier ways. Narrative Therapy is another influence in her work, inviting clients to examine the stories they tell about themselves and to reframe those narratives to reflect strengths and purpose.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Blakely works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She partners with clients to adapt techniques and try different strategies until a good fit emerges.

Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity across changes, and connect with a therapist from wherever one is located. Blakely uses these formats to deliver consistent, supportive care tuned to each client’s schedule and communication style.
